Introduction to C++ – Stanford Video Tutorials and Other Video Lectures

Yes Wade! I want to take advantage of the limited time offer to receive a FREE Lifetime Membership to Progress Monitor when I purchase any membership at Learn Visual Studio, Lynda Videos or any hosting account at DiscountASP.

"I tried to learn .NET by taking boot camp classes that cost me $6,000. After taking the classes, I discovered tons of free (and very cheap) videos on the internet created by experts in the field. I found the videos to be much better than the classrooms. The videos were presented by Microsoft presenters that knew the material backwards and forwards, and they were much cheaper and better than the classroom teachers. I have spent the last three years organizing and hunting down the videos for my own use and decided that all could benefit by sharing what I found." - Wade Harvey

Looking for premium .NET Training Videos? The best premium .NET Videos that I have found are at Learn Visual Studio. Those videos are only about 50 cents per hour, as compared to $25 per hour that other sites charge!

LearnVisualStudio is currently having a 25% off sale ($50 savings) and giving away a free membership to TrainingSpot ($60 value) when LVS Lifetime Membership is purchased.

Progress Monitor provides a syllabus and checklist for watching all of the videos.

DiscountAsp is the best hosting company that I have found for .NET applications. They provide many SQL tools that make it easy to remotely manage your sql database directly from your computer that other hosting companies like GoDaddy do not. How to Use DiscountASP to Connect Website to Database gives you the exact steps to take.

If you want to accelerate your learning curve for JavaScript and many other programming basics, let me recommend Lynda Videos.

Limited Time Offer: Free Lifetime Membership to Progress Monitor ($24.95 value) when you purchase any membership at Learn Visual Studio, Lynda Videos or any hosting account at DiscountASP - just forward order confirmation to harvey007@sbcglobal.net

Here are some of the best rated C++ Video Lecture Tutorials. The first set 5 video lecture tutorials is from reconnetworks.com. The next set of 13 lectures from Stanford University is much more in-depth. The lecture at the end is by Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup – the original designer and implementer of the C++ Programming Language.

C++ Video Tutorial for Particle Physicists by Paul Kunz

This series of 13 lectures was presented at CERN in Geneva by Paul Kunz from Stanford University. The lectures are very clear and start with the basics in an attempt to teach C++ to Particle Physicists. Each lecture is about an hour and a half long.

The course starts with the very basics and ends with sophisticated example of tracking code. The content of each lecture is roughly the following…

* session 1: basic declarations, conditional structure, operators.
* session 2: pointers and functions.
* session 3: introduction to classes including operator overloading using 3-Vector from CLHEP (class library for high energy physics) as an example.
* session 4; more on classes with arrays and lists and including templates.
* session 5: introduction to inheritance and some thoughts on class design and dealing with legacy code.
* session 6: polymorphic inheritance with a large example taken from a simulation code.

This course is not a "hands-on" style course. Only few practical exercises is suggested in the lectures. The students are expected to take their own initiatives in getting started.

By the end of the course, one should be able to read most C++ code written by other scientists and be on their way to using C++ in their own work.

Bjarne Stroustrup’s Video Tutorial Lecture on C++0x Standard

A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied in the design of C++0x. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO C++ standards committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an hour, I'll take questions.

Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup is the original designer and implementer of the C++ Programming Language.
